Jubilee
Camille Nov 2022
Wide smiles, happy faces
Laughter fills the room
The spotlight aches for attention
A dozen roses tossed around
The microphone speaks, the person shouts
The voice echoes all throughout the room
Screams of triumph, the trophies rises

Conflicted
Camille Oct 2022
Stumbled across crossroads
Conflicted, confused, indecisive, and blurry
Slow moving steps, walking as I go
Training my mind how to grow
Blossoming and blooming yet failing to glow
Craving and crying, these tears then show
Recovering and dying, staring and shivering
The self will be set free once I learn to know

My Prison Cell
Camille Mar 2020
Outside these metal bars is a forest of paradise
Where one seeks peace and calmness within
The soft waves and the calming ocean breeze
I breathe in deeply, It is a lovely sight to see

But in my miserable state, I am unable to be free
To experience these beautiful things that I see
I see people who enjoy from sunrise to sunset
Dancing and celebrating to the beat of the drums
Able to see, touch, and hear around them
Able to do anything they want since they have everything

Lingering remains
Camille Oct 2020
And in an instant, everything became black
And still, here you are Zac
Not looking back, but straight into my eyes
Still hearing echoes of painful cries
Staring straight into my soul with a painful glare
And I turned back and you were still there

Truth be Told
Camille Mar 2020
I, a trapped spirit tried to break free
To break away from my own prison cell, my body
To break away from these shackles pulling me back to where I started, my own thoughts and insecurities
To tell the truth about a situation
To seek justice for myself
Is that wrong?
To speak for the people who need justice?
To voice out what most people cannot admit?

Oras
Camille Jun 2024
Isa, dalawa, tatlo, nanginginig ako.
apat, lima, anim, ako'y naglilihim.
pito, walo, siyam, hindi ko na alam.
sampu, heto na ang huling yugto. magtatagpo ang ating mundo, ngunit, bakit ka nalilito?
bakit tayo naririto?
heto, heto na tayo, nagtagpo na ang ating mundo,
at tayo'y sumasayaw sa bawat patak ng oras
at kahit kailan, hindi tayo susuko kailanman.

Past
Camille Jun 2024
The empty streets of Ghost towns, I wander
My feet stays, yet my spirit roams
...but it calls out to me

The skeletons in my closet wonder
Unanswered questions, I dare to ask
Haunting my ever existing body, it asks and tells
I answer, they stumble and mumble my name
My humbled body slumbers to its death, waiting to awake once again.

Silence
Camille Jun 2024
The light blinds my sight, moarning and regreting I sigh
The peaceful hatred between us escalated, my silence kills you and me inside
The way I spoke in silence made you feel unappreciated
Slowly and steadily, I tried to reach you out, but I couldn't.
The way I can't help you kills me inside.

Visions
Camille Jun 2024
I dream, I think, I seek
Soaring these empty mountains,
I dare to dive deeper into its haunted woods
Haunted by its loneliness, it scares me.
But, that was the beauty of it;
The way it shined, basking in the sunlight
Even in its green color alone, it decorates the whole domain.
The beautiful sight of chaos is what excites me most.

Crystal Hearts
Camille Jun 2024
Seeing through my cracks, you had me undone.
This crystal clear heart of mine stays within and awaits your touch.
Uncontrollably, I shake out of desperation, I crave you connection and inner space.
We collided and intertwined worlds as you speak your words with silence.
I then trust you, you trust me, we then both die happily with no despair.

Words of Wisdom
Camille Jun 2024
The world stays gray
Leaning towards the light, you say
In silence, your words convey
In mind, body, and soul, you lead the way

The world changes hue, your colors still stay
From gray to yellow, the colors display
In sadness, doubt, and fear, you relay
Guiding us, you show us ideas and portray

here you lay, your body then stays
Your guidance lightens our burdens and makes way
Our future, our past, as a role model you display
Don't lead us astray, for we need your statements today

Light
Camille Mar 2020
Crawled out of desperation
in the depths of despair,
I rise out.

Curse
Camille Jun 2024
My hoarsened throat begins to swell
Everlasting pills won't help me now.
I swallow these words of hatred as I lie awake at night.
Craving, reaching, my hungry hands beg
Seeing lustful pain and sad groaning begins to wet my saddened eyes.
